Chapter XVII
Old Adelbert of the Opera had lost his position. No longer, a sausage in his pocket for refreshment, did he leave his little room daily for the Opera. A young man, who made ogling eyes at Olga, of the garde-robe, and who was not careful to keep the lenses clean, had taken his place. He was hurt in his soldier’s soul. There was no longer a place in the kingdom for those who had fought for it.
